49ers vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the 49ers listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 49ers have looked really good this season with their 7-3 record overall. They were one of the best teams in the league to start the season and went through a bit of a rough patch, but they have come out of their bye week very hot with 2 wins in a row and both wins coming by double digits. The Seahawks have also looked good this season with their 6-4 record overall but they haven't looked as good in their games lately. The Seahawks have been finding ways to win games all season but lately their wins have been much closer in score and their games have been going down to the last minute, usually needing a game winning drive. They haven't played well in the division this season either as they are only 1-2 against NFC West teams while the 49ers are 2-0 in divisional games and will be looking to take control of the NFC West with another win here. The best way to place a bet here is on the 49ers to cover the spread in this game.
49ers Seahawks Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Thursday, November 23, 2023 (8:20 pm ET start time) is 49ers 31 Seahawks 17.

Notable Quotes
“Brock’s been great because he's been consistent through it all. I never felt any difference with Brock during those three losses. I think he's pretty realistic so he doesn’t get into stuff that’s not that accurate.” - Kyle Shanahan after his team’s win against the Bucs in their last game.
“This was the most disappointing loss for us because of the way we did it. We made it really hard on ourselves so many times in this game with the calls that were made. And I’m not disputing any of them. I’m just saying the penalties that happened were just out of line for us. We have not been good in that area during the season in general, and today it really blew up on us.” - Pete Carroll after his team’s loss against the LA Rams in their last game.
